Conquering the music world + real life BFFs = the perfect combo! Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are the only female artist to have a music video with over 3 billion views on YouTube.  Katy’s ‘Roar’ currently has 3.2B views while Taylor’s ‘Shake It Off’ just reached the 3 billion mark.

 

 

 

 

In other BFF news – to celebrate Katy’s music video for her new single Not the End of the World, Taylor took to social media to show her love for the video.  The concept is to employ actress Zooey Deschanel as a ‘body double’ for Katy while on maternity leave, but then aliens kidnap Zooey thinking she’s Katy.

 

Fun fact – prior to this video, Katy and Zooey have always been told they lookalike.  Watch below.

 

In response to Katy’s video announcement, Taylor retweeted, “THIS IS GENIUS” followed by a Zooey GIF.

 

 

Taylor and Katy saved their friendship in 2019 after a long, ongoing issue, which Katy later said was a complete “misunderstanding.”  Talking with Howard Stern in July, Katy explained, “What I’m so grateful for is we [Taylor & Katy] did get to make up publicly and got to be an example of redemption for young girls.  Gossip in life can take the elevator but the truth takes the stairs. It just takes time.”
